Hi @Rahul Agarwal I went ahead and run Git GC, however, only one repository has reduced the size. 177.2 MB -> 177.2 MB 176 MB -> 136.4 MB You have a couple of options to resolve this: Option 1 - Delete & recreate the repositories This is the fastest way to solve the problem, but loses metadata such as PRs, Pipelines, Permissions, etc. * Perform a clone of those repositories for backup purposes * Delete those repositories from your workspace to free up space and allow you to push. NOTE: This will permanently remove metadata such as PR's/pipelines/user permissions etc. * Identify the largest files in your repositories by executing the following command: git rev-list --objects --all \ | git cat-file --batch-check='%(objecttype) %(objectname) %(objectsize) %(rest)' \| awk '/^blob/ {print substr($0,6)}' \ | sort -r --numeric-sort --key=2 \ | numfmt --field=2 --to=iec-i --suffix=B --padding=7 --round=nearest * Perform cleanup operations locally to reduce the size * Once complete, push those repositories back to your workspace by creating a blank repository with the same name of the deleted repository, then mirror pushing the contents of the cleaned repository: HTTPS git push --mirror https://@bitbucket.org//.git SSH git push --mirror git@bitbucket.org:/.git NOTE: This will remove metadata such as PR's/pipelines/permissions etc but will keep your commit history and binary files intact. Option 2 - Temporarily upgrade * Upgrade to a paid plan and utilise our 30-day trial period to restore functionality and provide more time to reduce your repository directly without deletion. You can choose to continue or cease your trial before the end of the 30-day period. * If you encounter any issues during this period - you may raise a ticket directly with our support team using your workspace URL: Atlassian Support Please let me know how this goes.

Hi @Rahul Agarwal

Thanks for letting me know.

I've also run Git GC against your largest repositories and your workspace size is now down to 994.6 MB.

Could you check the same on your end?
